Mbappe and Courtois honoured at FIFA World Cup 2018 Final

Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois won the Golden Glove as the best goalkeeper for helping his team to a third-place finish after allowing just six goals in seven games. He kept three clean sheets — against Panama and England in the group stage before blanking England again in the third-place game. When the final whistle came, England captain Harry Kane was confirmed as the Golden Boot winner, his six goals outpacing the four of Griezmann, who got the Silver Boot and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, the Bronze boot winner.

Mbappe, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Russia’s Denis Cheryshev also scored four goals, but lost out on the assists tiebreaker. Grizemann had two assists and Lukaku one, while the others were not credited with any. Spain were also honoured with FIFA’s Fair Play Award after receiving only two yellow cards in four games.
